After engine regeneration, during reassembly, it is important to replace the cylinder head fixing pins along with gaskets and oil seals, as they are relatively inexpensive. The first step is to clean the threads of the cylinder block with the appropriate tap (use a thread gauge to determine the type of pin, in terms of diameter and thread pitch, and select the correct tap), ensuring that no debris ends up in the cylinders.

Once this operation is complete, position the gasket and cylinder head, apply sealant to the new pins, and tighten according to the specified pattern.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
